    Classic comedy

    Contains 3 classic 'specials' that time has not aged. Sit back and relax, the laughs come gently but frequently with the well written, well delivered charm of the seventies.

    The best of an already superb series. There is nothing to knock about this - a real gem.

    Is it just me or was Penelope Keith the sexiest woman on TV at that time !
